The National Weather Service has issued a cold weather advisory for Northern Indiana and the Chicago area in effect from 6 p.m. today, Jan. 19, through 9 a.m., Jan. 22. The advisory includes dangerously cold wind chills as low as 25 below zero.
Due to this predicted weather, the South Shore Line is closely monitoring conditions as ice and sub-zero temperatures can adversely impact track, overhead wire, and train car mechanical components. SSL crews are preparing in advance to minimize weather-related impacts to train service, and will remain on standby in the event of a service disruption.
We anticipate train operations to run as scheduled, however any changes in service will be promptly posted to our website Service Updates, the South Shore mobile app, and via email/text notifications (click here to sign up).
